Nadim, Ossama, it turns out you both have a point. Actually, it is true that the first job would be to set up such a web site section, but this section only has a sense if you have/develop a real community of users, developpers and marketers of OpenOffice.org in Arabic. Indeed, the es project (Hispanic Native-Lang Project) is very interesting for you, as you can get some inspiration in regard of the content, but also because Hispanic world is large, just like the Arabic one, and that you have to deal with many people/businesses who live from very remote locations from one each other, and this without any particular focus on just one country (as the Native-Lang focuses on languages, not on countries) See how they work together. Now, let me explain to you what you should do in order to get your project registered and started: -Post an official request on dev at native-lang dot openoffice dot org and discuss at openoffice dot org, introducing yourself, the arab community, OpenOffice.org in Arabic countries, etc.. Some questions, including from me and Louis, may arise. -A vote then takes place. Actually it's a rather informal one, sometimes there are none, and it really doesn't mean anything. -We then set up the domain name. It is usually the initials of the international code for the language, "ar" as it seems. Once this is set up, you'll be able to upload your content, create the mailing lists. - You should use these templates: http://native-lang.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectDownloadList to build the fixed part of the web site (the one that actually never changes -When everything's ready we will annouce the project publicly. Also, don't hesitate to browse our web site for more info on how to upload content through ssh2, etc... Don't hesitate to contact me for further information. Charles-H. Schulz.
